Future and emerging complex problem-solving environments are characterised by increasing amounts of digital data and rising demands for coordinated resource sharing across geographically dispersed sites. Next generation grid technologies are promising to provide the necessary infrastructure facilitating seamless sharing of computing resources. Currently there exists no coherent framework for developing and deploying data mining applications on the grid. The DataMiningGrid project addressed this gap by developing generic and sector-independent data-mining tools and services for the grid. To demonstrate the developed technology, the project implemented eight demonstrator applications in e-science and e-business (...more).
